Pumpkin Head Jack

By Joe Egly

Some legends are more than stories. Some are warnings.

When sixteen-year-old Susie Wilson crosses the old Hollow Bridge on Halloween night, she thinks it's just a dare - a harmless prank to impress her friends. But what she awakens is anything but harmless.

They say Pumpkin Head Jack was just a myth - a scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head and a wicked smile carved in fire. But now the whispers in the corn are real. People are vanishing. And the fields around Crestwood are hungry.

As the town's dark past begins to bleed into the present, Susie must uncover the truth behind the harvest rituals, the missing children, and the creature stalking them all before Halloween ends.

Because once the bell tolls, Jack comes to collect.
